The Social Work in Health Care™ Monographic “Separates”

Series Editors: Gary Rosenberg, PhD, Editor, Social Work in Health Care, and Andrew Weissman, PhD, Managing Editor, Social Work in Health Care, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, NY

Below is a list of “separates,” which in serials librarianship means a special issue simultaneously published as a special journal issue or double-issue and as a “separate” hardbound monograph. (This is a format which we also call a “DocuSerial.”)

“Separates” are published because specialized libraries or professionals may wish to purchase a specific thematic issue by itself in a format which can be separately cataloged and shelved, as opposed to purchasing the journal on an on-going basis. Faculty members may also more easily consider a “separate” for classroom adoption.

“Separates” are carefully classified separately with the major book jobbers so that the journal tie-in can be noted on new book order slips to avoid duplicate purchasing.
